Cross-Compiling SPEC CPU2017 for RISC-V (RV64): A Practical Guide
SPEC CPU2017 is a well-known benchmark suite for evaluating CPU-intensive performance. Although it assumes native compilation and execution, there are cases—especially with RISC-V (RV64) platforms—where cross-compilation is the only feasible route. This guide walks through the steps to cross-compile SPEC CPU2017 for RISC-V, transfer the binaries to a target system, and optionally use the --fake option to simulate runs where execution isn't possible or needed during develop

How to Create an External Toolchain in Buildroot - Part 1
Background: For some months, we at WhileOne Techsoft Pvt. Ltd. have been helping our customer setup a system to validate the performance of their SoC platform. In this context, we had to bring up an aarch64 Linux based target image to run on their proprietary hardware SoC platform. Part-1 of this series explains how to build an External Toolchain with BuildRoot. Part -2 of this series explains how to build a Target Linux image and Rootfs in BuildRoot using the External T
